2020 Domaine Faiveley Bienvenues-Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru

When it comes to Burgundy, Domaine Faiveley is one of the biggest addresses. This is a family business with around 120 hectares of vineyards, including famous names such as Gevrey-Chambertin, Corton, Montrachet's, Echezeaux and many more.

However, it is also a family estate with 10 hectares of Grand Cru and almost 25 hectares of Premier Cru. The first step was taken in 1825 by Pierre Faiveley; his son Joseph turned the estate into a great top company and his wines became ambassadors of Burgundy wines all over the world. With a clear, elegant and distinctive style, they produce wines here without exception that meet the ideal image of a Burgundy. “A very high quality estate, which represents the full glory of French winemaking art”, write the famous French wine writing duo Michel Bettane and Thierry Desseauve. Domaine Faiveley combines the principles of modern winemaking methods with the age-old traditions that have been practiced for centuries in their 19th century cellars. Each terroir and each vintage benefits from special attention that makes the cuvées unique. Each bottle therefore becomes the faithful reflection of its terroir.

The Bienvenues parcel, acquired in 2008, became part of the estate at the same time as its neighboring twin Bâtard-Montrachet. While both Grands Crus share similarities, each exhibits unique characteristics. The Bienvenues-Bâtard-Montrachet parcel is on flat land, with more marl and wetter soil than its neighbor, which encourages vegetation. The demarcation between these two parcels is delicate, and yet this subtlety is reflected in the wines themselves.

The vines were planted between 1980 and 2018. Faiveley owns approximately 0.50 ha of vines here. Refreshing and fruity aromas are complemented by notes reminiscent of freshly baked brioche. Spicy finesse and gourmet flavours combine on the palate. Lively and acidic, this wine reveals an assertive character.
